Seed Catalogues Wall Calendar: The Smithsonian Institution Libraries have a unique catalogue collection that includes approximately 10,000 seed and nursery catalogues dating from 1830 to the present. The real gems of the collection date from 1830 to the 1930s and are both beautiful and important historical documents. Seed trade catalogues document the history of agricultural business in the United States, as well as provide a history of botany and plant varieties. This calendar features a unique selection of covers from these catalogues, showcasing some of the most beautiful illustrations of that period. Each month has a spacious grid with information about the featured catalogue cover. There are sections to record emergency contact information and birthdays/anniversaries, and a full-page 3-year at-a-glance. Earth friendly, printed with soya-based inks on FSC certified paper.
